Makes you wonder why housing prices in Canada are so ridiculously high then when they have so much free land space.

Is that a US thing only? Cos I haven’t seen this crap here in germany, fortunately.

Unfortunately that doesn’t happen, because EU put tariffs on Chinese EVs. And then they are complaing why EV adaption doesn’t happen as quickly as they would like, lol.

Nah, mods from every political view do ban users randomly.

I guess because of server costs and stuff like that. I am sure Lemmy currently can’t handle the amount users Reddit has. And without ads there is no income stream of money to handle the costs.

Not really, the UI and stuff like keyboard shortcuts are completely different (like the command key for example, wtf is this). When I switched to Linux, it was really intuitive. Stuff was in the places I expected them to be. Definitely not the case case with MAC OS. Had to constantly google how to do the most basic stuff. Linux really is easier to switch to than Mac OS if you come from Windows.

Did u have any significant experience in Software Engineering from like, private projects? Cos otherwise that’s like winning the lottery, to exaggerate a bit lol

Would this really happen, tho? Also you could give a prompt to new users on this issue and tell them how they can subsequently block those accounts. Sure, there are always pros and cons to doing things, but in my experience the current approach where you give a select few people total control always results in total echochambers. Which I believe on the broader scale just reinforces the political divide of a society.

*football

The solution is quite simple, really. Mods (or anyone else for that matter) should not be able to ban people. The concept of global banning shouldn’t exist. If an account posts/comments stuff you like, then just block it on a personal level. Global banning (especially when the decision can only be done by the mods / a select few people) will always lead to echo chambers.

Didn’t Musk start his own party last year or so? I remember sth about a party called the ‘American Party’.

Cos it’s legal there

The US has ‘best parts’? Really can’t imagine anything good about them lol

Lemmy ain’t much better when it comes to banning. Mods here like to arbitrarily ban people, too. Without any warning whatsoever. Freedom of speech doesn’t exist here as well.

That’s why I prefer traveling by car. Public transport in theory is nice, but in practice it is ruined by obnoxious people.

Subreddit mods getting a taste of their own medicine by Reddit admins lol

Ok kiddo

Literally France rn

People shoplift because their employers pay to little. But that’s not a problem of the grocery store, they can’t solve that.

That things are locked literally has nothing to do with capitalism. It is because people are shoplifting to such an absurd amount that it is cheaper for the store to invest in locks then let it happen. And if u shoplift, that’ll just raise the prices cos the store has to somehow compensate this loss. Not sure how it is in the US, but in germany grocery stores operate on a slim margin, so significant amounts of shoplifting can be really detrimental.
